"We talked about Mariupol, and they told us it couldn't be possible"

views: 600

Tetiana worked in Mariupol as a principal at school No. 63. Together with her colleagues, she was able to take out her employment records and the seal. The woman recalls how her neighbors ate one egg for two. How she was hysterical when she learned about the air strike on the Drama Theatre. How she almost died on March 9, when the Russian military dropped a bomb on a maternity hospital and a technical university.

 "On March 9, I went to the center to make a phone call. On my way back, I stopped in front of the maternity hospital. There were three fir trees growing there, each half cut down. I took a picture of them. The clinic was still almost intact. I turned behind the house, and just as I approached the fire, I heard a man shouting: "Plane, hide!" We grabbed a neighbor and ran to the shelter. The man did not have time to close the door. A bomb fell. The man flew 6 meters down the stairs. There was a blast wave. And a few seconds later, an air strike on the maternity hospital," Tatiana recalled.
